Any of you gals have this going on? I have been bleeding (spotting mostly) since before I even knew I was pregnant (I'm due 1/04/14 and am 7.5 weeks). Then last Friday I had a big bleed and I thought for sure I was losing my baby. I have already lost one back in December so I was devastated. Well, they got me in for an ultrasound on Monday and turns out the source of my bleeding isn't the baby....it is a large cyst on my ovary. Now I know why I feel so huge for only 7 weeks and have been feeling bloated/crampy. Not only do I have the cyst....I have some fluid in there too hence the bleeding.

Anyone else have this? I understand it should resolve itself but surgery may be needed if mine keeps growing or bursts/makes my ovary twist. I am so worried! My doctor seems so nonchalant about it.

    Oh Im so glad the baby is ok!!! Hugs! That must have been torture for you waiting all weekend!
    I have not had that, but I have heard of it. Always seek out a second opinion if you do not think your Dr is taking it seriously enough.

    I have the exact same thing on my overies, we have been trying for two and a half years to get pregnant with two miscarriages. I am currently 11 weeks an have bleeding too and I'm worried also that it will burst. I am seeing a specialist with this pregnancy. I had cyst with my second child 5 years ago but they weren't as bad as they are now, so it is possible! :) I wish you the best of luck
